Beautiful place! The food is delicious with a wide variety of options. The pastries and desserts are to die for! And the staff is super friendly :) A must stop when in the Shawinigan area!
This is the best cafe in shawnigian by far. It’s so delicious, especially the breakfast sandwich and the croissant. They even made my coffee a special way I like it. 100000/10
Amazing pastries! The chocolatine was pretty good but the almond croissant is so decadent, you cannot say no! It might be in the middle of nowhere but this would easily beat most bakeries in major cities.
Excellent wine and tasty lunch! Nice service. Great moment after visiting Mauricie.
Belle découverte! Très belle endroit et un service exemplaire. Nous y avons seulement fait un arrêt en après-midi pour une pâtisserie et un café. Tout était très bon. Vous pouvez aussi y acheter quelques produits locaux.
Wow 🤩
Amazing location in the middle of nowhere, food was amazing, and staff was exceptional, we rarely have the time to enjoy an evening as a couple without kids, and I guess they sensed it. They did everything they could to make the most of our evening. We also bought their homemade croissants for the next morning! And will be stopping everytime we go to the parc de la mauricie for their homemade bread!
We stopped in for dinner here. Refined menu: we chose a house-made naan starter, and then a special short rib of beef dish and an assortment of fresh shellfish (mussels, scallops, crabmeat…) on black wild rice. Dessert was a pistachio-based slice of cake that hit the sweet tooth! Wait staff were pleasant and efficient. If you want a very nice meal in a place where it is t always easy to find - this is it. Merci et au plaisir de vous revoir!
So good! Too bad there are no lunches or brunches on the weekends. The pistachio cruffins are amazing, as is everything else!
Warm service, perfect atmosphere despite the high ceilings its not too noisy. Local, current, hearty cuisine: a must-try
We went to the restaurant. A good meal but I expected better for a restaurant of this level and for the price. There is also a shop/bakery and I think the 5 stars mostly come from there.
The desserts are all excellent. Favorite for the donuts exclusively on Sundays. Best sugar pie ever! Amazing Opera Cake!!! Very beautiful place to discover. Always a very warm welcome with Anthony s smile!
We like the decor, the service is very good and above all the staff are extremely kind! Of course the table is original, it s excellent! We love it, we go there and we go back!
Very nice experience. The service was excellent, we went on a Wednesday for the cheese fondue and we enjoyed it.
Excellent lunch and gourmet menus in the evening. Superb building, beautiful dining room, beautiful glass roof with a view of the mountains. Extensive list of privately imported wines. A great novelty for Mauricie.
For me the best bakery in the sector
Me and my companion were extremely disappointed with our take-out purchase in the bakery section, in fact we bought 4 small sandwiches for a total of $48, during the tasting, we noticed that the bread was stale, under a the packaging was even indicated with the date of October 9, we bought them on October 11... despite the very nice setting and the many very positive comments about the restaurant we do not recommend takeaway sandwiches...
Experience of pure pleasure. We did not expect such a discovery. Atmosphere, decor, service, impeccable. And of course the cuisine, gourmet, refined and local. A tartare in a marrow bone... awesome and tasty!
Fabulous meal in a cozy atmosphere. Nice welcome. Impeccable service.
The perfect bakery when you wake up after a night camping in the park: the pastries are super good (finally a raisin roll with a good quantity of grapes!) and the place is so beautiful and warm. I can t wait to try it at dinner next time
Magnificent place and atmosphere, impeccable service, local, refined and tasty food. What more could you ask for! Dietary restrictions: Please consider our dietary restrictions.
´excellent bakery
A decoration worthy of Pinterest photos! -A cuisine to savor, professional and welcoming staff. -An inviting and warm interior terrace. -A calming courtyard and so pleasant to be there. -A magnificent greenhouse where many foods grown on site end up on our plates. -Local products encouraged. -The cocktails as well as the dishes are delicious both to look at and to taste. A little expensive but worth paying and treating yourself to. -Meatless dishes are of good quality. -For lovers of good cuisine, excellent restaurants that are out of the ordinary and for those who like to admire beautiful places: I recommend.
Great cuisine, great products, great setting and the service is impeccable. Go for it!
It was a very nice discovery. The decor is very beautiful to look at. The presentation of the menu helps people better understand the choices offered. Many food choices looked interesting. I would have liked to have had real candles lit on the table for an even cozier ambiance, but that doesnt detract from the restaurant experience. Parking: Some charging stations available for electric cars
A big WOW on all points. Courteous and fast service. Very successful chic farmhouse atmosphere. And everything you eat there is worth the detour. Well done!
Paradise just a stones throw from the Mauricie Park. The flowers at reception are magnificent, the decor sublime, the service impeccable, and everything was delicious. The coffee was perfect and the pastries were decadent. A must stop.
Really nice place for a good quality dinner. The place is charming and offers lots of beautiful, unique products. Next time you will have to try dinner!!!
A perfect evening! We enjoyed delicious cocktails. Favorite for the scallop starter and the beef tataki! We will definitely come back, the staff is attentive and the decor is beautiful!

Absolutely stunning
Its been a long time since I felt so welcome in a restaurant. I didnt have a reservation, but luckily I got a table. Delicious food, good drink, wonderful atmosphere and magnificent service! Thank you very much to the whole team. My family and I loved it!
Spectacular ambiance, service and cuisine! The team offers an attentive and warm welcome, the dishes are fine and local, the place is magnificent.
Very nice atmosphere, and good food, I will go back.
Short stop after fishing in the Parc de la Mauricie, the place is magnificent, impeccable service and the pastries sublime, I recommend Well done!
A restaurant to discover! My two visits were perfect! Service, food quality, beautiful presentation!
Bakery, pastry, evening dinner, table service, everything is impeccable and delicious!
I would have liked someone to wear gloves or use a utensil to give me my cake, not with bare hands, its cleaner, please wear gloves. THANKS
I just had the pleasure of tasting a nice little raspberry croissant, but the detour is worth it! Next time Ill eat at the restaurants and try their full menu!!
Great service, nice atmosphere and great food! 100% recommendation.
Nice place, nice set-up. 5 choices of main dishes, only 3 available at 7 p.m. Disappointing cooking of the sirloin, much overcooked after waiting too long... average service. We dont plan to return there.
Wow what a beautiful place!! The bakery and pastry side is excellent but the cuisine is not to be outdone. It was just excellent: meat cooking, vegetables crunchy but not too much and the sauces... The sundae is to die for. Atmosphere, music and service, great. We will come back.
A magnificent place with entirely homemade cuisine. Tasty pastries and an excellent welcome Thanks to Nicole who served us
I only stopped to get some white chocolate and coconut bread, but I absolutely have to go back for dinner! Lemon pie Sunday is definitely worth the detour!!
Superb place! beautiful warm the staff really kind and the food is just Waw!!
What a magnificent place! The atmosphere is romantic, cozy and relaxed at the same time. The menu is simple but elegant and well thought out. A unique experience in the Shawinigan region.
Very nice/good cafe and restaurant area. In addition to the excellent service!!
Superb restaurant. Everything was perfect, from the decoration of the room, to the service, including the cooking and baking and even the background music! Nothing to complain about, finally a restaurant truly worthy of the name! Congratulations to the whole team and special mention to Carole-Anne who will explain each of the dishes on the menu in detail with passion and a big smile
A very nice place...its worth going back for dinner. Check because not available every day. We had lunch which we enjoyed on the terrace. The raisin bread was delicious! Recommended!
So good! A delicious experience! I chose 3 high-end restaurants in this beautiful area to discover and this table is my favorite. As a starter of mushrooms in a room this creamy but! Don t eat it, it s too good! Accompanied by a bottle of pink wine recommended by our waitress, a fillet of walleye accompanied by vegetables and a brownie dessert that is completely original as much as the presentation and their name displayed on the menu. Yum All served on a high-ceilinged terrace with walls of huge windows to appreciate the surrounding nature. Nice touch of pretty candle holders at night. In short, an adventure for my palate which delights me just thinking about it. Im going back for sure.
The service was extraordinary. The food was up to a finely crafted 5*. Wow flavors. Impressive wine list. Overall 7 out of 5.
Good restaurant in Quebec Chateau de Frontenac
Delicious experience
WoW! Atmosphere Menu Bis!
Perfect welcome, I went there with my 12 year old daughter, the waiter is professional and very friendly. The dishes offered are succulent and the decor is just wow!
I stopped to have a smoke meat sandwich, very good seriously! the lady informed me well, yes I recommend! :) THANK YOU Olivia! :)
L Olivia est un magnifique restaurant avec une super ambiance. Également, ils ont une boulangerie, l une des meilleures que je connaisse. Tout est incroyable, les pains, les viennoiseries et les pâtisseries. (Coup de c ur pour le pain au pavot, leurs tartelettes aux fruits et les paris-brest) On arrête à la boulangerie chaque fois avant d aller au chalet!
Very friendly service, excellent food. Warm atmosphere.
You would not regret your visit. The menu is quite expensive, but the dishes are 100% worth it for the quality received! A nice plus is that you can buy a large number of products used in the dishes on site directly in their small shop which is located at the entrance to the restaurant. A must if you are in the area!
Exceptional place!
Top quality, top taste, top location.
Beautiful and friendly
Wow and congratulations Doudou.
Wow!!!!! Superb place. I ADORE The decor Employees The food!!! Ohhh yesss. Too good. =)
Good food, beautiful decor and attentive staff. We had a lovely evening.
Magnificent decor! Excellent coffee and pastries, with good service!
Friendly service and very good products
In fact, everything is beautiful, every place you look at is just magnificent! The welcome, the service, the atmosphere and the space just one word, perfect! The food is excellent, varied menu, and what about the desserts
Beautiful place, impeccable service, delicious dishes.
This is the only restaurant I can find n this area. It is on the side of the road. After entering, it is spacious and bright, with the fragrance of coffee and pastries. Lunch is in the area near the door, and the larger area behind is arranged for dinner. It seems that business is good. With the help of an enthusiastic waiter, I ordered a ham sandwich and a minced meat sandwich. They were crispy and fragrant after heating. The meat sandwich tasted better than another. There is also a tofu sandwich, tofu tomatoes + fromage, and I have repeatedly given up. The quinoa salad is delicious, with a small box of $2. 5. Its a good choice to try first. I bought some special desserts too, They tasted great. This is the only restaurant in this area. It is right on the side of the road. It is basically invisible from the outside. Once inside, it is spacious and bright, and the aroma of coffee and pastries wafts around. Lunch is in the area near the door, and dinner is served in the larger area at the back. It seems like business is good. With the help of the enthusiastic waiter, I ordered a ham sandwich and a minced meat sandwich. They were heated up and they were crispy and fragrant. Compared with the latter, they tasted better. There was also a tofu sandwich, tofu tomato +fromage, which I considered giving up again and again. The quinoa salad is delicious, the small box is $2.5, and it s a good choice. Tried several special desserts, they taste great and the price is not cheap
A sincere and warm welcome. An atmosphere that smells like a bakery. And what about the products!!! We went there first for the bakery/pastry shop. And what does that look like for people who love bread and pastries... a beautiful composition like in the photos that wont last long, believe me! So good!! soon there is now also an ice cream counter This lunchtime I had a sandwich with pork rillettes, cheese and mustard, delicious! I accompanied everything with a salad and a cappuccino and a lemon tart. A real treat!
A warm welcome. Despite the fact that we arrived at closing time, we were let in. We bought takeaway, everything was delicious. A great offer in this area very close to the Mauricie National Park.
A perfect place to discover welcoming, magnificent, delicious meals! Refined and simple.
Very nice restaurant and the price is reasonable! On the other hand, I was very disappointed with the starter to share (bread and olive). The bread was dry, not very good and the toppings were insufficient! The meals are good but not exceptional. The look of the plates is very neat!
Animal hygiene services desired; no gloves take everything with their hands no one washes their hands and the food is placed on a counter not necessarily washed a little disappointed
Gouda sandwich, oyster mushrooms and preserved onions, delicious. The beauty of the place and the products are undoubtedly a pleasure to discover. Were going to go back there.
Have to try the counter to bring
Exceptional place, truly magnificent! The dishes are really good and the ingredients are high quality (local, organic and homemade). I highly recommend.

This restaurant is definitely worth the detour! Extraordinarily good food with seasonal and local foods, warm atmosphere, pleasant and comfortable decor. Nice wine list, friendly employees. Ive been there a few times and always look forward to my next visit!
The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, a beautiful enclosed and glazed terrace, the food is excellent and refined. Beautiful wine cellar. The staff is friendly, very good service. A little expensive but well worth it beautiful pastry counter.
Unique in the region, excellent cuisine and vast selection of wines
A great welcome, delicious pastries and hot chocolate!
Wow what a welcome! Great service. Very good discovery. The pastries are a little too fatty but very good... when they say pure butter they are not kidding :-). We also had sandwiches. Well located next to the national park (15-20min).
Magnificent establishment, decorated with taste and modernity. The service is quality and the products are really very good.
Excellent service, courteous, polite. Parking: Parking is good. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access
It is shameful Despite the announcement on the site of an opening at midday . In fact nothing.. a small counter with two young girls . Especially pastries .. a double espresso coffee, two brioches, a small soup (good in this case) a 1/2 shot of legume salad, 2 ice creams for more than $50 . Where is the error!! Ashamed I repeat Olivier - French tourist
We only tested the pastry. Best pastries of our stay in Quebec, the lemon tart and the brownie were very good
Great place, tour is very good
What an incredible discovery! The welcome, the service, the dinner were perfect! We had a starter with delicious breads and spreads, the Fish Chowder, surprising with each new bite and an exceptional crème brûlée! I highly recommend this paradise for the taste buds. The decoration of the restaurant is superb!
Very good service, tasty dish. Expensive, bordering on frugality.
Tourists passing through, we couldnt find a restaurant. The few that were open were full and not accepting any additional customers. So we stopped at the Olivia to grab a sandwich from the bakery section. Correct reception of the young girls, deplorable on the part of the one who seemed to be their manager, who went so far as to refuse to pay by credit card. I recommend tourists to avoid this establishment...
Very pleasant atmosphere. Excellent service. Beautiful presentation of the plates. The bread they make on site is very good. Parking: Very large parking lot. You can also connect electric cars for free to 240V
Super welcoming and you can eat there (seriously, Im going back there with my husband for a romantic dinner) and for my part I went there with my little daughter to watch and she was treated to a brownie with a warm lady and I made personal purchases for lunch and dessert but you can have more than my current choices that day and plus we want to have our work party dinner for Christmas there. I love the atmosphere and the welcoming staff
The food is very good but just too expensive for what it is. Our server only had 3 days of experience. Too little for a bill approaching $300. Really not the right person to recommend wines... Beautiful building, nice room, niiice.
Very good restaurant, impeccable service
Good pastry, service is cold
We went to eat as a family and we were not disappointed. Excellent service, exceptional food and perfect atmosphere for your evenings.
Wow... A great meal. Minimalist decor but it works. I hope to return there.
Best pastry in town. This place is magnificent and definitely deserves to be known. I suggest this place to everyone. Beautiful decor, good food, you will find what you are looking for there.
